He was one of eleven talented siblings, including the novelist John Cowper Powys (18721963) and the novelist and essayist Llewelyn Powys (18841939). Their sister Philippa Powys also published a novel and some poetry, while Marian Powys was an authority on lace and lace-making and published a book on this subject. Gertrude Powys was a painter. Another brother, A. R. Powys, was secretary of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and published a number of books on architectural subjects... Powys has been described by C. N. Manlove as one of the three main writers  along with C. S. Lewis and Charles Williams  of "Christian fantasy" in the 20th century. (Wikipedia).
